[QUOTE="BillNye, post: 2020467, member: 114642"] It is a Christensen! I like the weight and the full sized muzzle break. I was shooting a Kimber 8400, also in 300 WSM and within an ounce of the Christensen (7lb 10oz) but the recoil was significantly less comfortable and I had to wait longer shooting strings for the skinny barrel to cool. It also cycles better than the Kimber and the triggertech on it breaks like a dream. On the downside, the Christensen tends to pressure up at pretty low loads, usually a few grains over minimum, and it's sometimes too hot with factory ammo. It also seems to get more POI shift as muzzle velocity changes than I'd expect from a carbon wrapped barrel. The velocity isn't bad and the accuracy is fine though, I just make sure I'm sighted in at the temperature I'll be hunting. It's worked fine for deer and bear out to 500 or so and this moose was at 370. All that said, I'm moving to a custom build as soon as the barrel comes in from Straight Jacket Armory. [/QUOTE]
